They are merely a means to get into and out of the buildings where we live, work, and shop; but to the person who really notices them, doors can be as varied individually as the many people you pass on the street. Doors (and windows) give character and personality to a building. If you don't believe this, try to imagine a Gothic church with a modernistic glass and chromium door entrance instead of carved pillars and solid doors with heavy iron hinges. Or reverse this and picture a modernistic building with ornate Victorian doors. Both would look ridiculous: each must have the type of doorway and door that will complement its basic architecture. Fortunately, most of the buildings used on model railroads are of the simpler type, but here also the proper attention to, and correct modeling of, the doorways and doors will add to the realism of the finished structure. We covered windows thoroughly in the article "Taking pains with panes" in the November 1963 MR, 64 so now I'd like to give some suggestions on modeling doors. Before we can install the door, we must have a doorway to put it in, so we'll start with the door openings. Doorvvays It always helps to know the correct names for the various parts of objects we are modeling, so Fig. 1-A is a detail drawing of the opening and door, showing the names of their components. Construction of the door opening and frame is similar to that used for windows. The type of milled siding used for the walls will determine the type of stripwood used for the easing and jamb of the door opening. The square stripwood method is best suited for clapboard walls, as this will close the gap in the offset of the siding to give a prototypical look. Stripwood angle should be used for framing if the walls are of scribed or board-and-batten material. Fig. 1-B shows the square framing for clapboard siding. This framing requires the least amount of work. Cut the door opening 6" wider on both sides and 6" higher than the finished doorway calls for. Cut part A and cement it flush with the back of the wall. If the doorway has a threshold, add this before going any farther. (Check this on the prototype, as many doorways of this type do not have thresholds.) Two side pieces (B) follow, cemented in place as shown, flush with piece A. The doorway is now ready for the door to be cut and fitted to the opening. The wood angle framing shown in Fig. 1-C is used with scribed or board-andbatten walls and requires only 3" to be added to each side and the top of the doorway dimensions. Before starting to trim the wood angle, note that one of the angles is thinner than the other. Be certain to cement the thin section in the same position in all three parts of the opening. Start with the threshold if one is required; then add the side pieces (A). After these are cemented in place, cut the top piece B a little longer than the fin- Model Railroader
